At the fantastic Tolmie Sports last month, numerous people took the opportunity to have a taste of the excellent 130th Sports Commemorative Wines on offer. Many bottles (or even cases) changed hands during the day or shortly after. If you missed out, don’t worry. There are still a good number of bottles still available.

Both the 2014 Sauvignon Blanc and the 2013 Shiraz are available at the same fantastic price of $15 a bottle, $85 for 6 bottles or $165 for a dozen (mixed or straight). All profit go to the Tolmie Sports Association.

To secure your wine, contact Kees on 5776 9554 or 0416 174 664. Arrangements for collection or drop-off to Tolmie location can be arranged on order.

Great news – the Tolmie Sports wine coordinators have been able to secure a limited amount of high quality wines to commemorate the 130th Sports. A fantastic, beautifully balanced 2013 Shiraz as well as an extraordinary 2014 Sauvignon Blanc reflecting the excellent growing conditions of the 2013/14 year are available. Both wines are labelled with a unique, dedicated 130th Tolmie Sports label.

The wines will be for sale at the Tolmie Sports at the very reasonable price of $15 a bottle. A case of 12 bottles will be on offer for $165, while we can separate half dozen lots for $85. Both case and half case can be mixed.

To secure your wine you can pre-book your order by calling Kees or Martina on 5776 9554 or email to sonneveld@easyliving.com . Orders need to be picked up and paid on the Sports Day. Other arrangements for payment and pick-up can be made for after the Sports Day. Definitely no sales and/or pick-up prior to the Sports event. Look for the wine stall at the Sports and pick up a bottle (or more) of this wonderful drop.

It is a relaxed day, where everyone contributes something towards lunch and shares the cost of the meat & pudding (usually around $15). BYO drinks. This wonderful day is intended for singles and couples or even small families – but not if you have a hoard who can otherwise have a very merry xmas at home together doing your own thing! If you would like to participate this Christmas, please phone either Linda or Michael on 5776 2113 by 15th December .
